Liberals jumping ship

Team Trudeau has taken a bit of a hit in recent days, with four candidates departing the ranks of the nominated and accusations flying of increasingly undemocratic nomination processes.

Yesterday, former Liberal candidate and Canadian Forces veteran David MacLeod made his reasons for stepping down crystal clear – he’s no fan of Justin Trudeau’s cynical political calculus on C-51:

“As a soldier, I helped defend Canada’s democracy by participating in peacekeeping, peacemaking and war… Having opposed oppressive political systems in the name of Canadian democracy, I refuse to support any entity complicit in the creation of a repressive act which assaults Canadian liberty.”
